Reviews of Black Horse Cafe

s. k.

Visited this cafe which is situated inside a Nursery that had a Christmas Market inside. The breakfast was amazing with locally farmed produce and you could definitely taste the difference. The staff were very friendly and service was quick and by the looks of things, a very popular place by the locals as people had actually reserved tables. All round great experience whilst visiting the area

V. H.

They had a couple of gluten free items. One vegan option on their main menu (chilli jacket potato) and one on their specials menu which unfortunately they had ran out of!! Had the chilli jacket potato but the chilli wasn't very good. Nice chairs /tables. Nice atmosphere. Probably won't return unless they improve their vegan choices.

Have always enjoyed the visit. Not impressed with not being able to swap items. My sister in law doesn't eat bacon and has always swapped for another egg with the bubble and squeak. She was refused this time. The egg was overcooked and hard, I would have complained about the way it was cooked. She was too polite. Very disappointing. There are other places to eat nearby.

We came across this cafe and garden centre on the way to one of our car deliveries today. We bought some allium bulbs and used the bathroom whilst there. They had a lovely selection of plants and the bathroom was spotless which is a fantastic sight in a pandemic! There was even ambient music playing! Just wanted to say how refreshing that is so well done 👏

Updated now taken over by new management food is excellent service is fast and friendly. Gets very busy, you can book a head to reserve a table. You can use the qr code to order from table or go to the counter.

L. B.

Quite busy at peak times. Great little indoor and outside play area for little ones. Good selection of cakes including free from options.

Festive afternoon tea wih a group of friends ,scones were dry and small and not much taste ,short of acouple of sandwiches for the amount if people.

R. P.

Served today by Sophie, it has been a real treat to find a dog friendly cafe. They only allow dogs outside but the area is completely under cover and very comfortable. We had such a warm welcome by staff, and throughly enjoyed a cream tea in the autumn sunshine. Will definitely be visiting again with Bluebell

J. S.

Went there for a coffee ☕ after visiting the the dentist, Me and Me and my partner had a sausage roll each and it had plenty of meat and it was lovely. This is the first time back that I went since they gave it a make over and wasn't disappointed. It was very spacious inside and out ,the staff were very friendly and polite. Tbe prices were not too expensive. Definitely recommend a visit, we will definitely go back again.

L. B.

A pleasant restaurant and tea room sighted on the side of Oliver's nursery. Restaurant covers breakfast lunch and afternoon tea. Good selection of food and cakes. Teas coffees. Soft drinks as well as wine and beers available. Seating inside and out. Outside is also dog friendly and covered for those wet days. Takeaway is available from the counter.

It's just perfect for a post Christmas catch up.

So breakfast was very tasty and great value, the only issues were that we sat down and we were not told to order at the till, by the time we found out, 15 mins, there was a queue, the other was the plates were cold as was most of our breakfast, even the beans in a separate pot. The sausage was a marvel!!

j. C.

Booked for 10.45am on a Sunday morning. Queued to order only to be told it was an hours wait for food!

C. I.

Really lovely Brie and cranberry ciabattas and gorgeous cakes! Hidden gem 💎

M. J.

V.friendly and helpful staff, selection of meals, sandwiches etc, clean and tidy.

S. B.

Home cooked food at a good price great selection clean and friendly

M. L.

Our breakfasts were delicious, served by smiling attentive waitress at a reasonable price. Nothing was too much trouble.

M. E.

This site is a hidden treasure. It has a very well priced cafe with good tasty food. It has a shop for equine equipment and a garden centre, which has a wide variety of plants and foilage. It's not as corporate as the more chain like garden centers at poplar or Freeport, but had better food (less mass prepared) and feels like you are supporting a local business, which is exactly what you are doing. Definitely worth a trip.

R. S.

We visited this afternoon, 5 adults and a child had a lovely meal and the staff bent over backwards to help us. Absolutely brilliant service

J. P.

We like the 'new' Black Horse. We received a warm welcome, the food was delicious and served within 10 minutes. The staff checked all was ok with us several times and were anxious to know we were happy. Top marks! We shall return asap.

Nice place with friendly staff and good sized portions. Would have given 5 stars but although I was asked twice if I wanted my scone heated, which I did not want, it turned up heated, but is was replaced when staff informed.

A. R.

R. Y.

Good food at a reasonable price. There is a good variety to choose from. Cakes , sandwiches and plated cooked meals. Service is top rate. Seating indoors and outdoors. It does get busy weekends. Highly recommended.

P. P.

Food was very good, service excellent, surrounding bright and clean could not fault it

V. C.

Disappointing. Disposable cutlery and crockery ... understandable because of Covid, but not pleasant. Not taking part in Eat Out to Help Out scheme as they are technically a takeaway either though you are sitting at a table. Won't be returning until they return to pre Covid ways, which were excellent.

L. P.

Super friendly hideaway with a choice of veggie sausages and soya lattes, but the secret's out and they are busy, busy! Happy to wait a little longer for the good food in their cosy cabin.

S. W.

D. M.

Lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere. Great cakes too!

P. B.

Very helpful, took my order from outside the door as I had my dog with me and couldn't go inside. Sat outside in pleasant surroundings and my coffee and teacake brought to me. That's what I call service!

R. H.

Excellent food, large portions and cheerful service. Really nice for after school dinner with children. Good value for money too.
